Dear Howard, A Fading History: January 2022

Saturday, January 1, 2022

Dear Friends,

First thing I want to say is:

Another year gone. Fading into history.

I know I have not posted for over a year, sorry. It's just I'm not sure what to share with people any more. Like what kind of history do they want to see. From a hundred years ago? I do have somethings I have not shared.

Do I share things from my past?

One thing I have thought about is I have an old cookbook from 1908 but, it's in Swedish. I could translate it and share it that way.

I do have other old books I can share.

I am very open minded, most days. But I will say I have been working a lot of over time. So most weeks I only get one day off from work. Mind and body and housework usually win out over writing.

I know this post is very short but, like I said I need a new direction or something. Don't be afraid to make a suggestion from time time. Maybe that's what I need something to search for or investigate from the past. Challenge me.

Well that's all I have to say today.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Your friend,

Sandy

About Dear Howard

Dear Howard is based on letters that were written to my Grandpa between 1919 and the early 1930's. It was a time when he was in search of a wife. The only letters I don't have are the ones that my Grandma wrote to Grandpa. They were buried with her when she past away in 1980.

I would also like to maybe some day find the families of some of these women and find out what happened to them.

I also have a number of pictures I would like to share with you. A lot of the pictures have no names or I don't know who they are. So If you ever see someone you know just let me know.

There is also the scrap book. I will share things from it from time to time. There are newspaper clipping that someone saved around 1936.

So I hope you come back often. You never know what will pop up from the past.
